Smoke yellowed and falling
ByDerek
Every day I’ve been driving by the slowly demolishing Aud, and keep seeing the old, cigarette smoke-yellowed sound baffling cans hanging from the ceiling and envisioning this shot: Luckily, Sara Etten snapped it, along with a series of other great shots, available here.
New camera and lots of snow
ByDerek
I finally bought a new camera – a Canon Digital Rebel XTi. I’ve been saving up for it for awhile, and my in-laws kindly gave me cash in lieu of an impossible to get Sabres jersey for Christmas, so the time was right. Now that I have the camera, I need to take a lot…

Time flies when… uh… you’re stuck at home due to the Coronavirus. Somehow I’ve managed to go nearly 3 months without posting an update here. There have been the occasional Instagram pics if you’re following along there, but I’ll bring everyone up to speed here too. We had about a long lull in January/February where…

From all those photographs, the one that struck me (and probably not many others) the most is the one with the bicycles all lined up. The juxtaposition of very modern with the very communist-egalitarian is a hoot. I have a similar photograph from my trip to Shanghai – hundreds upon hundreds of bicycles, all virtually identical, Schwinn-looking, rust-covered, circa 1950s. I never did find out if they were community property or individually owned, but I couldn’t imagine knowing how to tell mine from the others, had I owned one.

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
